Optum Bank – Health Savings Account (HSA)





            A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to employees who are enrolled
            in one of the HSA medical plans. An HSA allows you to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for qualified medical
            expenses. Money comes out of each paycheck and is deposited into your account for future use. Once you reach age 65
            you can also use the money for non-medical expenses (although these amounts will be taxed as ordinary income).
